Author's Note-Hey everyone. This story was actually a double request with both Laveycee and Daffodil Moon asking for it. I will admit I got the idea for this short from real life, a similar situation actually happened in a class that I was the sub for. This short also has an important land mark. It official, 50% of the US states have managed to at least be mentioned in this story. If you live in as state I haven't mentioned yet, stay tuned that are still over thirty-five stories to go. Lastly, thanks to IndianaFerbDragon, Daffodil Moon, Winter's Shadow, Laveycee and Athens Georgia for reviewing the last chapter and for everyone who read and enjoyed it.
Disclaimer- I do not own Hetalia…or Apple…or Flappy Bird.
Flappy Bird
From the outside, America's primary home looked like any other respectable older home. Even if you peeked into some of the windows nothing would seem too out of the ordinary. Walking into one of the nation's various subbasements was a different story. There was enough electronic infrastructure that America could run his nation's government out of his house if he needed to. It was out of this basement that America held his virtual town hall meetings with all of his states. Normally the system went pretty smoothly. Today, though, they were getting off to a rough start.
"Okay, as everyone knows, the previous host states of New York, California, Missouri, Utah, and Georgia flew out to Sochi a few days ago to help the Russians get ready for the Olympics. In addition to the states that have previously hosted Olympic Games, two other states will be attending the festivities. It is Montana and Vermont turn to attend a winter game and they will be flying out with me to Russia later this morning." America glanced up from his notes at the large bank of TV screens. At least, one-third of the states were currently tapping madly at their iPads. "Did any of you listen to a word that I was saying?"
"We are listenin…" Washington started to say, but suddenly stopped and swore.
"Sure you were." Hawaii said stifling a yawn, still annoyed that he had been woken up so early to participate in the conference call.
"America, you know we can't help it." Indiana pointed out.
The nation knew that the state had a point. National and state personifications were deeply linked with their population. They felt their emotion and they shared their people's pain. The problem was whenever a fad hit the country it was difficult for his states to resist participating. Over the years nation had storage units filled with his state's collections of random crap. The current fad might not involve a physical item, but it was just as annoying.
"I know that this game is really, really popular right now, but could you all at least try to pay attention?" America tried to keep the annoyance out of his voice. "I am about to head out of the country for two weeks and I want to make sure that everyone is comfortable with their various tasks so the nation runs smoothly while I am gone."
They really did try their best to sit still. They kept their fingers off of their iPads for a good ten minutes, but as the discussion continued more and more of them were madly tapping on their tablets. By the end of the meeting America had discovered that the only thing more frustrating than playing Flappy Bird was trying to have a conversation with someone who was currently trying to beat the game.
